The Aaron Hernandez trial is a high-profile case where the former NFL star is accused of first-degree murder in the killing of a semi-pro football player.

The trial has started. Mr. Hernandez pleaded not guilty of killing his friend, semi professional football player, Odin Loyd. This didn’t prevent the NFL from voiding his contracts. He went from sports celebrity [with a 40 million dollar contract] to inmate. The jury selection has begun and this tradegy marks yet another black eye on the NFL.
